"Hello?"
It was her, his Belle. Her voice was soft and calming, even at one in the morning. All day he had been feeling something just wasn't right. He was scared something was wrong with Belle and he faught the urge to call her all day...until now. He had to hear her voice, just to make sure she was ok.
When she answered he so badly wanted to answer back, but he just couldn't bring him self to do it.
He had promised her he'd stay out of her life and he was going to keep that promise. She had moved on with Philip and there was nothing he could do about that. After all he was the one who had screwed it up in the first place. If he could go back and change what he had done he'd give his right arm to do it! He had regretted that night since it happened five years ago. He had screwed up majorly and never knew he couldn't fix it.
As he shut his phone he walked over to his nightstand and picked up a picture of him and Belle at valentines day party at Philip's. When they were going out Belle had always said it was her favorite picture of them. He had always assumed it was because in the picture they were showing off the fake tatoo's they had got of eachothers names in hearts. Now years later as he looked at the picture he understood what Belle had really meant, that picture had captured them in a moment. Just the way they were looking at eachother you knew they were in love. It was a moment he would kill to go back to.
He walked back into the kitchen and got some more coffee knowing he was going to be up late. As he picked up the magazine he had gotten that evening he kept reading the caption below the picture on the front page over and over again. It had bugged him all day.

Shawn couldn't believe that they were actually getting married. He knew he had to move on and let her be with someone else but he just couldn't believe that someone else had to be his uncle.
He walked over to his refrigatrator and saw a picture of him and his mother. When he was nine his mother had passed away of cancer. He and Belle had always been very close to her, he was a mommy's boy and he was proud of it.
He had never had any real friends until Belle. When they had first become friends she would always call his mother Mrs. Brady, but she wanted her to call her Billie, because Mrs. Brady made her feel old. When she passed away Belle was there for him everyday, and that's when they became inseperable.
...Flashback
An nine year old Belle walked hesitantly into the room. His mother had just passed away that mornign,not sure what to say she just kneeled down on the bed and hugged him.
"I miss my her Belle." whimpered a young Shawn
"I know, when my grandmother died I missed her a lot too." said Belle
"Belle who's going to make us peanut butter sandwiches and chocolate milkshakes?" asked Shawn
"Aunt Hope can." said Belle laying back on the pillow
"Yeah I guess." said Shawn as he layed back to
After some silence Belle spoke again
"Shawn.." said Belle starting to cry
"Yeah?"
"I miss her too."
"I know you do." said Shawn as hugged Belle again
"I'll always be there for you Shawn Douglas." said Belle as she wiped her eyes
" Belle, your my bestfriend." said Shawn
"You're my bestfriend too." said Belle
...End Flashback
That was the night he knew everything was going to be okay. She had stayed with him the whole night and for days after that. They were bestfriends and they spent every waking hour together.
Two years after his mother had died his father married Hope. Hope was his mothers bestfriend and she had helped take care of Billie when she was sick. It was hard on Shawn at first when his father and Hope got together, but Belle was there for him everyday.
That's why, when after two years after they had graduated and Shawn found out Belle's father John died, Shawn had jumped on a plane from California in the middle of the night to Salem, and ran in the pouring rain to her house to be there for her.
...Flashback
It was a little past midnight and pouring out, but that didn't matter. All that mattered was that he was here for her. The way she had always been there for him. He had just hopped the last plane to Salem, rode in a cab till about four blocks away when it stalled, and then ran all th rest of the way to Belle's
As he stood outside her house he wiped the soaking wet strand of hair out of his face. He hesitantly walked to her front door and knowing it was now or never he rang the doorbell. As it slowly opened what he saw felt like a stab to his heart. His uncle Philip stood there with the cockiest smirk he had ever seen.
"Is Belle here?" asked Shawn already knowing the answer
"Shawn she won't want to see you." said Philip stunned that Shawn was actually there
"And why the hell not?" said Shawn still angry that Philip was there
"Just trust me, she has me and that's all she needs."said Philip
"Philip how about we let her decide that for herself I know she needs me." said Shawn trying to remain calm
"Look Shawn, she wants nothing to do with you." said Philip as walked outside shutting the door behind him so Belle couldn't hear them
"Philip let me in!" said Shawn now yelling
"Shawn she made it very clear years ago that she never wanted to see you again, i'm only doing this because I care about her."
"Philip she needs me, I love her and we both know she still loves me!. So if you really care about her you will let me see her." said Shawn almost begging now
"No Shawn if I really care about her i'll keep you away from her so you can never hurt her like you did ever again." said Philip as he went inside shutting the door
Shawn stood there broken not knowing what to do. She didn't need him anymore, she had Philip
... End Flashback
He still loved her he knew that, the real question was what was he going to do about it. All he knew was that there was no way he was going to let the love of his life marry someone else.
